We often hear the negative stories associated with meeting people online, but rarely do we hear what drew people to the net to begin with – or furthermore – the positive experiences that so many have had.
In my own personal experience, I’ve had very positive and uplifting encounters during my single years and feel that I’ve made wonderful friends I would have never met had I not begun looking for love online.
Whether looking for love online or simply dipping your toes in the social networking waters, we’d love to hear your personal reasons for exploring the online possibilities of meeting others. Consider …read more
